Chiang Kai-shek is a contradiction. On the one hand, under the influence of his mother, Wang Caiyu, he did not believe in God, did not smoke, and did not drink alcohol. And I have always maintained the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. It is said that when Chen Cheng went to his office to explain things, Chiang Kai-shek smelled the smell of smoke on his body, was furious, and was stunned to drive people out of the office.
But on the other hand, because he is deeply in love with Song Meiling. The latter is clearly heavily influenced by American culture. She believed in Christ and was a typical night owl. And because she suffers from skin diseases, Song Meiling is addicted to smoking. So Chiang Kai-shek also went to the church with Soong Mei-ling to worship, and also made an exception to allow her to smoke anywhere. Guys, this is probably true love. However, the reason why we can know so many things about Chiang Kai-shek today is actually to thank his mother.
Wang Caiyu had the habit of keeping a diary, so Chiang Kai-shek also loved to keep a diary. The curse that Chen Jieru knows about Chiang Kai-shek is what he personally wrote in his diary. According to historical records, after the defeat of Taiwan in 1949, Chiang Kai-shek's diary repeatedly mentioned three people. He said that he blamed all three people for failing.
The first is U.S. five-star Gen. Marshall. According to historical records, it was after the fall of Hangzhou that Chiang Kai-shek wrote with a wry heart: Marshall did not understand China's national conditions, but he pointed fingers at the war, which was really hateful. The loss of Hangzhou was all due to Marshall's excessive intervention. Chiang Kai-shek said that the Republic of China has cooperated with the Americans for many years, but now it seems that it has not gained any practical benefits.
On the contrary, Americans actually look down on us. It's just that Roosevelt needs an ally in East Asia to contain Japan, so he will help us more. So it seems that I, Chiang Kai-shek, am just a watchdog of Roosevelt! At the end of his diary, Chiang Kai-shek wrote that instead of showing people the door here, it is better to leave as soon as possible!
According to historical records, the second person Chiang Kai-shek hated the most in his life was Stalin. In his diary of January 31, 1949, Chiang Kai-shek clearly wrote that our military defeat was not due to the ineffectiveness of the soldiers or the incompetence of the generals, but because the Soviets interfered too deeply and helped their opponents too much. In addition, according to historical records, Chiang Kai-shek hated the most
The third person is Li Zongren. He said that if Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had not forced him to go to the wilderness, causing the Internal Friction of the Kuomintang, the war would never have failed so quickly. Therefore, in his May 1949 "Reflections on the Last Month", he scolded Li Zongren for being opportunistic, unscrupulous, and ungrateful. He also said that the reason why the Kuomintang has fallen to where it is today is that He Li Zongren is at least half responsible. Finally, I would like to mention that in fact, Chiang Kai-shek has also reflected on his own problems. He once said that his biggest failure was that he cared too little about the welfare of the people and that the implementation of the Three People's Principles was not thorough enough.
